Hey all,

I am looking to replace my run-flat Michelin tires on my E92 M3 (19-inchers). I have been told to try the Dunlop Sport Maxx ZR rated tires, but I wasn't too sure. Do any of you guys have recommendations?

Cheers,

I'm a big fan of PS2s.. have them on my Z3m.. tried Bridgestone RE11s on the Z4m but wasn't too impressed.. the grip and durability of the PS2s is unbeatable IMO..

 

Michelin Pilot SuperSports. NOTHING ELSE!!!! They are 3x as good in grip as the PS2''s, and have lasted me 30,000 miles already. INCREDIBLE tires.

 

didn't know the M had run-flats. thought those were on non-M cars?

michelin pilot super sports are great all around - light, sticky wet and dry, 30k guarantee, etc. but not super cheap.
vredestein sessanta ultrac is a good cheaper alternative. about equal to ps2 all around but cheaper. search for this one a bit.

 

M cars do not have runflats.

The Dunlop Sportmaxx GT is probably the best runflat out there right now. But I prefer to drive on Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.

 

M3 doesn't come with runflats. I'm running PS2's and I couldn't be any happier but if they wear out, Michelin Supersports would replace them.

 

Hi all, thanks for the feedback... really appreciate it!

Strange enough, my M3 did come with run-flats; I even have the run-flat kit in the trunk. I thought that maybe the Michelins were a bit too pricey (at least here in Kuwait they are), but I know the performance would be second-to-none; especially on the E92 M3. Any other tires which you guys can recommend for my car, keeping price and performance in mind?

In the end, if I can't find a suitable replacement, will probably go down the Michelin PS2 route... just wanted to do my research first.

Thanks again guys!

 

Whats the run-flat kit consist of? Run-flats don't come with kits as far as I know (had them on my Mini Cooper S Works). M cars usually come with mobility kits which will inflate (non-run-flats) to get you to the nearest station).

 

Call me, I'd love to help!

 

@MC321: Interesting point you make there. I was told by the dealer's service-rep that the tires I have on right now are run-flats (to be honest, I never bothered checking until I wore them out). I assumed the kit in the trunk was for the tire, but what you've said makes a lot of sense. Strange enough, I just spoke to the guy this morning (my car's in the garage) and he confirmed again that they're run-flats. Guess he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about either!

@Damon@tirerack: Might just do that!
